About George M. Pritchard
Lived 1886 – 1955 (aged 69). George M. Pritchard was an American politician and lawyer.
George Moore Pritchard (January 4, 1886 – April 24, 1955) was a lawyer, Republican politician, and one-term U.S. representative from North Carolina. He was the son of Senator Jeter C. Pritchard and Augusta Ray.
Pritchard served in the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1916 and 1917. In 1928, Pritchard was elected to the 71st United States Congress from North Carolina's 10th congressional district. In 1930, he did not run for re-election, but instead ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate against Democrat Josiah W. Bailey. All his later attempts at political comebacks—running for Governor of North Carolina in 1940 and 1948, and for the U.S. House in 1952—were unsuccessful.
Served as an honorary pallbearer for author Thomas Wolfe's funeral in 1938 in Asheville, NC.
